Bill Clinton: Democrats Must Respect Gun Rights, Culture

Clinton, speaking to a group of Democrats at the Obama National Finance Committee Saturday, said gun control gets a special emotional response
from people in rural states, and dismissing pro-gun arguments can backfire.

“Do not patronize the passionate supporters of your opponents by looking down your nose at them,” Clinton said, Politico reported.

“A lot of these people live in a world very different from the world lived in by the people proposing these things,” Clinton said. “I know
because I come from this world."

Hey, I finally agree with Bill about something.
Op, I agree with you too, except for one thing because I think we need to get rid of all aspects of "emotion".

That's the cause of everything that is wrong with society today, and it needs to STOP!
It's like we constantly need to watch what we say and everything we do because it might hurt somebody's feeling, and that needs to STOP!

The root of the problem is we have all been conditioned to base everything on EMOTION, and no longer on LOGIC.

Bill Clinton is a smart guy. He's still Skull and Bones, but a smart man never the less. What makes a smart person? When in power, they know how to
make both sides win, reaping the spoils on all fronts instead of one.

In a nutshell this video said to me "Back when I was president, I made a big mistake on gun control. You should learn from my mistake."

I think what Clinton is trying to tell Obama and others in his party "If you want to get anything else done in your second term, back off on this. It
cost me both the House and the Senate." Not a chance that the Democrats take the House if they pass anything like Swinestien's bill, and it will
probably cost them the Senate too.

If I were the GOP leadership in the Senate I'd allow a vote on this new bill as written so I could get as many Democrats as possible on record. I
don't know if it would pass the Senate as written, but it would be great to get as many Senators as possible on record with a vote. I doubt anything
at all like this bill would even be allowed for a vote in the House. Get them on record and use it against them in 2014.

That's what I think too.
Now whether or not Obama listens and takes heed is another story. He's so smug, one can never tell if he'll take the advice [warning] or not.
